Has God been trying to send you a message and you aren't opening your ears to hear what it is?
It would be nice if God just flat out said whatever it was we were supposed to learn or do or tell us where we are going wrong.
Unfortunately, God doesn't come over a loud speaker and announce the plan for each day.
There's a passage in Mark that the preacher talked about on Sunday. Jesus is telling his disciples for the third time that he is going to die. What's on their minds? John and James don't respond to that annoucement but instead ask about sitting at his right and left in heaven.
How many times do we fail to hear what's being said because we're thinking of our next request for God? Or we are thinking about how what we have isn't quite how we envisioned it?
We need to listen more. It takes practice to get better.
